This week I had some icky looking over ripe bananas on the counter and instead of making muffins AGAIN, I decided to try to make a banana chocolate chip cookie. My kids actually decided to call these “mookies” because the texture is sort of similar to a muffin. We ate them for dessert after dinner and then for breakfast the next morning. They are very versatile, just like my pj pants these days! Store extras in an air tight container, I would suggest using the bread trick to soak up extra moisture, or layer using parchment paper. We did not do either of these and the “mookies” were a bit sticky the next morning, but still delicious. So, the next time you have some gross looking bananas give these cookies a try!!
